Summary  
This chapter explains how to perform integer division and compute remainders using dedicated arithmetic operators—%/% for the quotient and %% for the remainder.  

General domain of usage  
Resource allocation

**Integer division** calculates how many times one number fits into another, while the **remainder** shows what is left over.

Definition

For example, dividing 16 candies between 3 friends results in 5 candies for each friend and a remainder of 1, since `16 = 5 * 3 + 1`.

## Arithmetic Operators
In R, these operations are performed using:
- `%/%` for integer division;
- `%%` for the remainder of a division.

# Number of candies for each friend
16 %/% 3
# Number of candies remaining
16 %% 3
